    Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard Shortcuts Update this page

    This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

    You must notify any user you have reported.

    You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.


    You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

    Additional notes
    • When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
    • The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from.
    • Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
    • Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.

    Definition of edit warring
    Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring.
    Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)
    An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

    Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

    Twinkle's ARV can be used on the user's page to more easily report their behavior, including automatic handling of diffs.

    Diff of attempt by JFG to resolve dispute on article talk page:

    Dervorguilla (talk) 07:22, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

    User Yopienso's edit was aimed to correct a gross markup error, nothing more. User JFG did not offer any opinion on signature size, he/she only took the median between an inappropriately minuscule size based on bogus argument of "sexual equality", and the long-standing template:Infobox person default sig size. (That makes as much sense as "compromising" that I cannot fill up the gas tank of my Toyota, because a woman at another pump has a Volkswagon with a smaller tank size!) I cannot find any substantive contribution by User Dervorguilla in the Talk:Donald Trump thread, only shifting irrelevancies, disruptive mocking of the BLP subject and of me, and ongoing/never-ending off-topic posting. Plus his several reverts without cause or consensus to change the long-standing template default sig size, over the same time period. IHTS (talk) 17:55, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

    Diff of original talk page discussion just before 2 comments were silently deleted (by IHTS):
    Dervorguilla (talk) 01:01, 16 July 2016 (UTC) 02:27, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
    "Silently deleted"?? How about I was regretting being enticed by user Jack Upland into off-topic poor humor posts thickening an already too-long Talk thread. (More irrelevancies. Ghosts & goblins!) IHTS (talk) 04:15, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

    The OP continues to revert the long-standing sig size at the article even while this incident is open! (Amazing. At this point, I think it's clear, this incident was opened as part of a campaign to harass & intimidate.) IHTS (talk) 07:40, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

    Diff of attempt by YoPienso to resolve dispute on article talk page:
    Link to where Dervorguilla restores YoPienso's revision:
    Link to where IHTS reverts:
    Dervorguilla (talk) 08:54, 16 July 2016 (UTC) 09:04, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

    User Dervorguilla's above presentation is a distortion of what occurred. This is what occurred:

    1. my grossly mistaken markup
    2. user Yopienso reverts my gross error
    3. my misunderstanding of Yopienso's edit
    4. the markup I originally intended

    IHTS (talk) 09:50, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

    A correction to IHTS's interpretation of YoPienso's edit:
    "User Yopienso's edit was aimed to correct a gross markup error, nothing more..."
    In his talk comment, YoPienso said his edit was aimed to restore the 110px size, not just correct the markup error:
    "IHTS wrote in the edit summary restoring the larger signature, 'No, read the Talk page; ... your "too big" compare on that basis is apples-and-oranges).' I did look over this long discussion before changing it. My 'too big' means in relation to the rest of the infobox..."
    Also, a general review of the signature-size history shows that IHTS has made 8 changes, Dervorguilla 4, YoPienso 1, and JFG 1:
    170px (Connormah) -> 80px (D) -> 130px (I) -> 80px (D) -> 110px (J) -> 170px (I) -> 150px (I) -> 110px (D) -> 220px (I) -> 110px (Y) -> 220px (I) -> 150px (I) -> 170px (I) -> 110px (D) -> 170px (I).
    In particular, IHTS appears to have made 4 changes within a three-hour span:
      23:51, 14 July 2016: 110px -> 220px
      00:20, 15 July 2016: 110px -> 220px
      00:22, 15 July 2016: 220px -> 150px
      02:56, 15 July 2016: 150px -> 170px
    Also, a general review of the signature-size history shows that IHTS has made 7 changes, Dervorguilla 4, YoPienso 1, and JFG 1:
    150px (Connormah) -> 80px (D) -> 130px (I) -> 80px (D) -> 110px (J) -> 170px (I) -> 150px (I) -> 110px (D) -> 220px (I) -> 110px (Y) -> 220px (I) -> 150px (I) -> 110px (D) -> 150px (I).
    In particular, IHTS appears to have made 3 changes within a one-hour span:
      23:51, 14 July 2016: 110px -> 220px
      00:20, 15 July 2016: 110px -> 220px
      00:22, 15 July 2016: 220px -> 150px

    Comment – Irrespective of the irrelevant sexist or ad hominem arguments brought forward by those two editors in this WP:LAME edit war, I do feel that the "0.5" signature size looks appropriate given this infobox format and the shape of this particular signature. Now would an admin kindly send the kids home to cool down? JFG 16:32, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    "Kid" is an undeserved, unwarranted personal attack. And fuck you for it asshole. IHTS (talk) 20:26, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    Dear IHTS: in my view, calling you guys "kids" is an affectionate way to point out playground-style quibbles over minor details. I love kids. Regardless, sorry for unwittingly offending you. On being called an asshole, I don't mind; we all have one. — JFG 07:56, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
    "Playground-style"??? "Quibbles"??? Maybe that applies to the other editor, but not me, asshole. Go fuck yourself. IHTS (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    Charming! — JFG 22:09, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    JFG: I'm not finding any actual "ad hominem arguments" at article talk. Both IHTS and I were directing our attacks at each other's claims rather than each other's character. But I do have to agree with you on the most important issue here: None of us (you, me, or YoPienso) can readily restore the 110px sig size without getting immediately reverted, by IHTS. I expect he would likely agree too. --Dervorguilla (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2016 (UTC) 05:12, 18 July 2016 (UTC) 15:05, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    I've created an 'Apparent consensus' subsection at talk. It's not clear yet whether this is going to help resolve the dispute. --Dervorguilla (talk) 15:18, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    What a joke. And all your reversions of the long-standing sig size have had no reasonable basis or rationale in discussion, changing from absurd "gender equality" argument, to repeating an apples-and-oranges argument comparing two different templates which provide two different available spaces for sig size. You clearly have shifting rationales supporting a POV behind all of your reverts and excessive unsubstantive additions to the Talk thread, not to mention the mocking of the BLP subject, and of me, with your offensive graphic and remark. You have a "grind them down" approach, including the opening of this EWN item, which even while open you continued reverting at the article. IHTS (talk) 20:29, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    Categorically denied. --Dervorguilla (talk) 05:25, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
    • Warned There is a technical violation of the 1RR rule that's been applied to the Donald Trump page. However, I'm going to give the user in question the the benefit of the doubt that he made a mistake. Even so, IHTS's behavior on this page is not appropriate and I strongly advise you to adopt a calmer tone when engaging with other editors. After I post this, I will also formally notify you of DS in effect on the Donald Trump page. If there is further disruptive editing or a future 1RR violation, I will impose a block and consider a short-term topic ban on the offending parties. I ask all of you to relax.

    2. Cambodian genocide - Two users object to Xenophrenic's Category Removal on Talk Page

    Comments:
    User:Xenophrenic has been blocked a total of seven times thus far for edit warring. I've provided just two articles where User:Xenophrenic has been recently edit warring, despite the fact that User:EdJohnston, a sysop, recognized the fact that User:Xenophrenic been edit warring across several articles and offered to protect the pages (see this one for example, where User:Xenophrenic once again reverts User:Ad Orientem). Another user, User:LoveMonkey, who seemed frustrated with User:Xenophrenic's WP:IDHT attitude also felt the need to report User:Xenophrenic as seen here. With specific regard to the Forced conversion article, another editor who noticed the edit warring attempted to discuss the issue with User:Xenophrenic on the talk page but then User:Xenophrenic proceeded to revert them. On the Cambodian genocide article, User:Xenophrenic is reverted by User:TheTimesAreAChanging who, in their edit summary, noted "You sure revert quickly" and attempted to dialog with User:Xenophrenic to no avail, since User:Xenophrenic continued to hold to an IDHT attitude rather than acknowledging consensus and dropping the WP:STICK. How User:Xenophrenic has been able to get away with his WP:HOUNDING and WP:EDIT WARRING behaviour for so long is beyond me. Thanks for your consideration, Jobas (talk) 21:39, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

    • Comment I can't address Xenophrenic's longer term record, which may well be one of a great contributor. But the admittedly limited editing I have seen on their part strikes me as bold to the point of evincing an element of indifference, or even contempt for the opinions of other editors not in conformity with their own. As also a certain willingness to push the envelope in advancing their particular POV. I will leave it to others to parse the record and decide what, if anything, needs to be done. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:03, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
    • Oh my. From looking at User:Xenophrenic's contributions, it seems that they have engaged in POV pushing across several articles, as well as Wikistalking. In light of their history of edit warring and sockpuppetry , User:Xenophrenic should be blocked for at least six months. A topic ban from all articles related to religion/atheism would be useful too. AR E N Z O Y 1 6At a l k 06:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    • This is a duplicate of the complaint previously filed: HERE. I've left my comments regarding the matter there. Please ping me if any further clarification or information is needed. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 11:07, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    A complaint filed on an Administrator's Noticeboard is never a duplicate of a discussion on a user's talk page. It is generally the next step if one does not get resolution to the perceived problem. This needs to be addressed, formally. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:32, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    Here is another example and here and here of how Xenophrenic still try to push his POV into the articles. User:HighKing also seemed frustrated with User:Xenophrenic's WP:BRD and POV attitude. --Jobas (talk) 16:19, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    • I care very little about this particular case but I post here just to signal that I have come across edits by user Jobas that were clear POV pushing and strangely sourced like this edit. The only point of this new paragraph added by Jobas in the introduction (in an article that would have needed obvious improvement) seemed to have been to add a category that was a pet project of user Jobas. It doesn't excuse the possible mistakes of Xenophrenic but it put it in perspective. Note that Jobas also added a similar paragraph in the article Forced conversion, with the same factual errors, the same POV pushing and the same unreliable source... So, I think that he certainly shares a significant part of the blame here. Eleventh1 (talk) 16:57, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    That's was my edit, These other edits are not added by me. And in the article Forced conversion I didn't add this paragraph what i did is reverted to latest version before our edit (14:08, 22 June 2016). and what i added was other paragraph with sources supported by Wessinger, Catherine, and Geoffrey Blainey. So I wish you could be more precise when you browse my edits. And as it seems here i'm not the only one who frustrated with User:Xenophrenic's POV attitude, regards.--Jobas (talk) 17:16, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    • Declined. The diffs provided do not indicate a 3RR violation, and a brief review of the past few days' history on both pages doesn't reveal any egregious edit warring. That is the only behavior analyzed at this noticeboard; if you believe someone is editing tendentiously, open a report at a different noticeboard. –Darkwind (talk) 07:48, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    Continuously removing a long standing referenced sentence and replacing with an unreferenced one. Multiple editors have attempted to explain this to the editor, but they ignore the message and continue to make these edits. -- samtar 13:30, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

    (Non-administrator comment) I just posted on Talk:Women in Islam the apparent BBC linkage that Pixie dust has been posting about, to reference their statement that women slaves held in Islamic societies were permitted to own property - http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/slavery_1.shtml. While the BBC is considered a reliable source and this source does state under the "Slave rights" header that "Slaves may own property", in this case the BBC text does not clearly state that female slaves could own property. So while Pixie has made many reversions on the article over the past few days, it seems to me that they are not completely in the wrong about this issue. Shearonink (talk) 14:36, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
    That may be the case, but the inability of the editor to listen show's a worringly lack of competence. They are continuing to edit war over this. -- samtar 07:55, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
    • (edit conflict) Blocked – for a period of 36 hours. This is a fairly clear case of an editor ignoring consensus and continuing to revert despite attempts at discussion. On the article talk page, two different editors attempted to explain the problem with the edit in question, and Pixie dust 777 appears to have willfully ignored that advice. When combined with the fact that four different editors reverted Pixie dust 777 during the past 6 days this has been going on, and two different edit warring warnings were given, it's fairly clear that Pixie dust 777 does not intend to abide by the established consensus. –Darkwind (talk) 07:59, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    Comments: The underling issue concerns a dispute between the editor and others about reliable sources. Albeit acting in good faith, they have been repeatedly adding in essentially the same material and reverting others for the last day or so. Hchc2009 (talk) 17:05, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    'Underling' issue? :) For the record, many of my 'reverts' have been changes to the original edit, in an effort to find something acceptable to the other editors. It is my understanding that IMDb can be used as a source in Misplaced Pages articles, in certain circumstances. I was upheld in this in a previous dispute, and was not aware of any change in the guidelines. The editor reverting me was refusing to discuss the matter, or offer any alternatives. If I simply reverted too many times in a given period, apologies. I'm not sure I did. I started the conversation on the article's talk page. I suggested a compromise, and the editor did not respond to me. The current edit (as of this moment) addresses some of the editor's complaints.Xfpisher (talk) 17:15, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    Comment from Jpimentel201 which is not relevant for this noticeboard

    User:Nika de Hitch About Dominican DNA: ... I've made several attempts to remove the new addition in reference to a dna portion made about Dominicans in the DR page, inly for it to be re-added and eventually leading to me being unable to make edits anymore. The reason I've made several attempts to erase it, is because of the bias info which contradicts findings from several other DNA studies. This study was conducted on 1000 people in certain towns in a few provinces within the DR with predominant afro influence. Studies done on 1,000 Dominican citizens from these towns do not represent the entire population of 10,000,000.

    Here is some examples of other DNA studies done in DR with some links:

    In the Last 2010 Dominican Census, Dominican marked themselves as follow...

    59% Other(Mixes) 28% White 12% Black

    According to C.I.A. Fact Book estimates Dominicans are:

    73% Mix Tri-racial(Spanish ,Afro ,Native) 16% White( Spanish/Other European) 11% Black

    According to recent genealogical tests by DNA-Tribe the average Mix Dominican is estimated to be:

    58.1 % Spanish European 35.2% African 6.4% Taino Indio

    http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp323/cristiano3/DNA-4.jpg

    According to 23andMe DNA test, Mix Dominicans are estimated to be:

    60% European 35% African 5% Taino Indian

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?authkey=CL2T54EF&hl=en_US&key=0At1sp4m_NTCLdHB4a2FZYXRxZnh0UzRfbzlTV2lXSWc&type=view&gid=0&f=true&sortcolid=-1&sortasc=true&rowsperpage=250

    According to PLOS Genetic the average Mix Dominican is:

    57% Spanish European 38% Afro 5 % Native

    http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.1003925

    According to "History Of The Caribbean" book Pg. 34 written by Franklin W. Knight a extremely important Historian of the slavery in the Caribbean inform that by 1750 Dominicans were:

    38,000 Whites 30,000 Mixed 15,000 Slaves

    My point, is that DNA shouldn't even be used in this Misplaced Pages page about DR, because of all the conflicting findings and opinions. This is very divisive within our community and alienates a large portion of the population. Please remove this info, because it isn't a fact. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpimentel201 (talkcontribs) 03:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

    Comments:

    IP is repeatedly blanking an established, relevant section of the article (an "Examples" section on a programming language article). Seems to be retaliation for a sentence the IP added that was removed, once by myself and once by another editor. There are two IPs involved in the same range that appear to be the same editor.

    I'm up against 3RR myself so I can't restore the section anymore. Note that the IP *is* correct about the section being unreferenced, but that should probably be addressed with a tag. Pianoman320 (talk) 20:59, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    Please, when deciding what to do about this. Also think about the section that Pianoman320 blanked. Think if it is OK, to prevent the neutrality of the article because the only negative section is too small. Also, Template:Citation needed is not meant to be used when there are no references, but as a warning that if no references are found the text will be removed. Please, allow neutrality in the article. 2.97.239.75 (talk) 22:31, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    Comments: The is a relatively new, ST user, who persists in warring, despite warnings that were posted on the edit log and the user's talk page. What complicates this is that the same user also appears to be doing the same thing as IP 188.182.194.148 on this article: here, here and here; warring about the same sentence and section, within the same time frame; and using virtually identical language in the edit log. Therefore recommend block for both User:Beboj3140 acct and the IP 188.182.194.148 as well, as blocking this person on one without the other would likely be ineffective. X4n6 (talk) 21:29, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    • Result: User:Beboj3140 and User:X4n6 are both warned they may be blocked if they revert again without a prior consensus on the talk page. Surely this 'most prestigious' thing might be fixed by rewording or my pointing to the relevant source more clearly. I semiprotected the article two months due to attention from the mysterious IP. If the IP edits elsewhere a block for abusing multiple accounts might be considered. EdJohnston (talk) 15:34, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

    I tried to resolve the issue on User talk:Italia2006#July 2016. SLBedit (talk) 23:38, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

    We already went over this on the other admin page. Italia2006 (talk) 23:41, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
    Severe DTS is in order, I think. You didn't get your way on the other page, so now you try this. @Qed237: Comments? Italia2006 (talk) 23:42, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
    @Italia2006: No matter how much you think your version is right (and frankly I agree with it), you have broken the three-revert rule. Do you realize this is blockable behaviour and that there are other more constructive ways of dealing with the dispute? Additionally your tone is far from acceptable — MusikAnimal 23:49, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
    For a block to result from this situation is absolutely absurd. However, I normally have perfectly agreeable relations with my fellow editors and work cooperatively with many of them. As such I agree completely that my tone was incorrect and should not be tolerated. Italia2006 (talk) 23:52, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
    Is that an indirect apology? SLBedit (talk) 23:53, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
    @Italia2006: A block to result from this is not absurd, it is procedural. What's absurd is to edit war over such a trivial change, even if you're version is "right", and this applies to both parties. I don't think a block is necessary if we can take this to the talk page, which hasn't been touched over 4 years. More importantly, civility is absolutely paramount and the contrary further validates the appropriateness of a block, that should be abundantly clear — MusikAnimal 00:01, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    Discussion on the talk page for what? The article is FC Porto. What is there to discuss? He keeps reverting to an incorrect hyperlink, please explain how any discussion is required. Italia2006 (talk) 00:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    Discussion is required because two editors are clearly at odds. You cannot keep reverting each other over and over. I agree "FC" makes sense because that's the target of the article, but "F.C." is indeed not broken. Therefore there's no reason to revert back to "F.C.", and there's no reason to correct "F.C." to "FC" (at least not for a fourth time in a row). If we can just stop than we don't need to discuss any further. If SLBedit feels this strongly about it, then that's what the talk page is for. You both have been WarnedMusikAnimal 00:16, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
    I'm willing to stop, for my part. Italia2006 (talk) 00:20, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

    This is nothing to edit war over. @SLBedit: This thread was completely unneccesary and you already took this discussion at WP:ANI before this. You should be very careful about forumshopping/adminshopping and WP:BOOMERANG. Keep discussion in one place. Qed237 (talk) 00:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
